[issue24563] Encoding declaration: doc supported encodings

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

The source .rst for 
<https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#encoding-declarations>
has at the end:
.. XXX there should be a list of supported encodings.

While I believe this is impractical, there could be a link to
https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings
-- and possible subsubsections that follow.  Are the latter supported for Python code?
